Rittenhouse put himself in a bad scenario that had a strong likelihood of blowing up, but that isn't a crime and he's a kid so he doesn't have enough experience to have the wisdom to avoid such situations.

What I saw on the numerous videos that came out after the night of these events was someone who was attacked and protected themselves from those attacks.

Does it suck that people had to lose their lives? Yes. But the lesson here is not to attack someone else - especially if you know they are armed. Stupid games/stupid prizes and all that.

Why we should all care about this case is because this is about our right to self defense. If Rittenhouse is found guilty of murder, how the rest of us protect ourselves from attack in the future will be subject to the same criteria used against Rittenhouse.
